  After Effects has a great shatter effect for doing this.

  Photoshop is not a 3D program, but Alien Skin makes a set of filters called Xenofx which has shatter and cracks.

  …and if you can’t afford the plug-ins buy a pane or 2 of glass at the hardware store or Lowes/HomeDepot, place it on a white sheet or black cloth and gently break it (them). Photograph that with your digital camera and use that photo as a layer over the image you want. Adjust lighting and transparency until you get the look you want. Be sure to clean up your mess and get all the glass off the cloth. 🙂
